WED 18 // TODAY’S GRIND SHOWS

RADIANT CIRCUS SCREEN GUIDE DAILY - FILMS IN LONDON TODAY: WINNIE at DocHouse (18 APR).
WINNIE at DocHouse (18 APR).

JUPITER’S MOON at Whirled Cinema (18 APR 20:00):

The director of the critically acclaimed WHITE GOD employs his uniquely talented eye to create this riveting supernatural thriller. Adorned with heart-pounding car chases and sensational gunfights that are complemented by fluid and kinetic camerawork, Kornél Mundruczó brings spectacle that rivals any Hollywood production to tell a timely European story.

WESTERN at ArtHouse Crouch End (18 APR 12:20):

A thriller on the frontier of Eastern Europe follows a group of German construction workers who have travelled to a remote site in the Bulgarian countryside for work. The foreign land awakens the men’s sense of adventure, but they are also confronted with their own prejudice and mistrust due to the language barrier and cultural differences.

WINNIE at Bertha DocHouse (18 APR 16:30):

Winnie Mandela is one of the most misunderstood and intriguingly powerful contemporary female political figures. As her husband Nelson Mandela served out his sentence in prison, Winnie took centre stage before the world as the face of the African National Congress. She became an icon for an adoring but fickle public that first cast her as the Mother of the Nation, and then cast her down as a sinner.
